Review summary
This was our second cruise with Norwegian and our first on the Star. We enjoyed both cruises a great deal and are most fond of the Free Style dining. It meant we didn't have a set time or place to eat. There were six hot tubs on the Star, though few hearty souls to use them (we did). One day we were in forty-five degree rain sitting in the hot tub, passing the snow covered hills. OK - so maybe we're not the brightest of cruisers. Even if you have no interest in seeing any of the ports, you MUST see and hear the glaciers. The glaciers have a blue cast and some of the huge chunks of ice floating by will have blue stripes. The thunderous sound of the glaciers cracking in spring and the cascade of ice down the glacier, followed by the crash into the water cannot be described adequately. You've got to be there.Ship experiences
